The ambulance, im told, in a few minutes, is going to be towed from the scene. You can see the black sedan that has significant front end damage. New information i got is that the driver is in critical condition. He was taken a few feet away into Temple University hospital because this crash happened right outside temple hospital. The driver is in critical condition. At this time, investigators believe he was speeding, thats because there are very defined skid marks, less than 100 yards from the intersection where this happened. So Police Believe he was speeding northbound on broad when he was approaching an intersection with a red light. There was stopped traffic. And he veered to avoid the car in front of him because he was going so fast. And when he went into the southbound lane he came head on with the ambulance. The ambulance was transporting a patient here to temple hospital. But im told that the patient who was in the back of the ambulance did not sustain any more significant injury. So that individual was just taken right into the hospital. But again, new information is that the driver who crashed into the ambulance preliminarily, well, he is in critical condition.
